Glimpses of a Twisted Mind

2002 World Cup was my first world Cup. When the World Cup started I was just a viewer but when the tournament concluded I was a fan of this beautiful game. But I couldn’t wait for another 4 years to watch such entertaining football. I was hooked on to the English premier league football. I won’t say that I was a ManUnited fan straight away. Yes I did start to follow that team. Calling myself as a true red wouldn’t be ideal thing to say in the true sense of the word. But then my reason for following Manchester United was no longer there. It moved to Real Madrid in 2003. Yes, I’m talking about David Beckham.
But I don’t know what it was but I stayed with United. It was now something more than following. I was just 13 and I found some sort of relevance to that football club. It somehow started to mean something to me and I haven’t looked back ever since.

As I started to know more and as I developed some sense in the game I started to go deeper and deeper into United and it was now an integral part of my life.

It’s because of United that I know one player who I think is was and will be the greatest footballer ever to play this beautiful game.
The BEST and it can’t be a coincidence that the player I’m talking about was born with this name.
Yes, the moment he was born he was declared the BEST.

Yeah, the feeling is mutual. This is a game which brings millions and billions of people together. For many, it is as good as a religion.

Football is rapidly becoming the most followed sport across the Globe. Some people call it Soccer, some call it Football, but the name hardly matters, it’s about the game. A game which is a matter of life and death for some and for some it’s even more than that. Introduction of Club football has led to a rapid increase in the fan following of different teams, players as well as coaches and managers.

Today I don’t feel like going about the Manchester Derby football match review like usual. Many reasons for that.
There was a lot of hype before the game and It was undoubtedly the derby that would settle a lot of things. Manchester City started the season with a spark and brilliance. United too had a pretty good start to the season. So with the top two teams up against each other it was about the one will have a physiological advantage for the next 31 matches. Though it was still early to say but the contention was clear that the main title contenders belongs to the city of Manchester.
